<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Shibboleth Users!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you can help me figure out how to make Visual Studio (VS) Professional 2013 (Update 2) or VS Enterprise 2015 (Update 2) debug a Shibboleth-protected application without manually attaching to the IIS process. I have a full IIS 7.5
installed on my developer workstation. I successfully (or so I think) installed the latest Shibboleth-SP on my developer machine and configured it to require authentication for a web application. If I launch that web application without debugging, shibboleth
authentication works fine. I configured my VS to use the local IIS (not IIS express that comes by default with VS) as a web server. If I start debugging (in VS 2015 or 2013) when Shibboleth-SP is being enforced for this particular web app, I get the message
‘<b>Unable to start debugging on the web server. Operation not supported. Unknown error: 0x80004005.</b>’ Nothing that I found about this type of error resolved my issue. As soon as I remove the web app from being ‘protected’ by Shibboleth-SP in shibboleth2.xml,
I can start debugging just fine from VS 2013 or 2015. When Shibboleth-SP is ‘protecting’ my application, I have to launch the web app without debugging and then attach to the IIS process manually through VS debugging tools.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal is to just click start debugging in VS and debug my web app without manually attaching to the IIS process running it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas are extremely appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
